I applaud his patience but won't he be stuck on that island from the Pandaren starting zone ?

A real shame,it does seem quite in vain,if he could somehow exit and be able to walk around in both factions then that would be awsome,and maybe a fitting reward for such a insane and time consuming thing to achieve.

W- I would hate the waste, could he at least send all the gathered mats to an alt, or did he have to vendor it? I don't know if I remember correctly, but I think I sent some bags to my pandas while they were on the island.

There's no mailboxes on the turtle, nor you can send any mail, since he has no faction.
So all the herbs were vendored.. For something like 15k gold.

Yes - you can boost lv1 pandaren, but while doing so it forces you to choose faction, during the boost process. So you end up with a lv90 pandaren that has a faction.
So in conclusion - you cannot boost panda to 90 and still be neutral.

He levels through gathering. It's not possible to pet battle on the island as far as I know.

Whilst true, it actually IS possible to TURN IN the pet battle quests. You just need to pick them up on a different character, complete them, DON'T TURN THEM IN right away, log out, go to your Pandaren and turn them in.

There's about 5 per day with increasing experience depending on your level. They're account wide, that's why this is possible.

Wasn't there some bug where Pandaren could be summoned off that island? I forget the details, but it seems like there was some really far out of the way corner where you could stand just right and technically be in a different zone, and you could be summoned out if you stood at that corner.

Although I can't imagine how the game could even work if you were a neutral Pandaren outside of that island. It just seems like everything would be broken, since most quests probably require you to be one faction or the other.

edit: actually, never mind, it wasn't through summoning. I am still pretty sure there was some bug or other for a bit where you could get off the island and still be neutral though.

Too bad you wouldn't be able to turn in the pet battle quests on a neutral Pandaren, seeing as, you know, there's no pet battle NPC's on the island.

You don't need an NPC to turn it in. You turn it in through a popup box by clicking on the quest.

It's also quite a amusing way to level with the +300% XP elixir buff if you're bored of the usual levelling methogs and aren't in a particular rush to hit max level (say, you're prepping a character for the free WoD boost and want to be level 60+ for maxed out professions). You log in, hand in the 3-4 quests, get a shedload of xp, and log out again, all in less in than a minute.
